Bah, there was a time when Playboy's articles were top notch. Short fiction by Asimov, investigative journalism by Hunter S. Thompson. Of course back then the Playmates were sexy, too: proper women's hips and boobs that weren't like balloons, not this airbrushed wax statue rubbish you see now.

It's not clear how well the magazine will be received in the holy land where religious sensitivities are always simmering under the surface and observant Jews and Muslims live by strict modesty rules. Religious zealots have frequently burned down bus stops with ads of fully dressed women and have prompted major advertisers not to use female models regardless of how modestly they are covered up.

Judging all of Israel by the behavior of the ultra-Orthodox is like judging the US by small-town Mississippi. Covering up women in this way isn't exactly mainstream in most of the country.

I didn't think you could vote in elections unless you were Jewish? Isn't that kind of the kerfuffle in the West Bank?

Wrong. In fact there are even non Jewish political parties (Druze and Bedouin once made an allaince, IIRC). The Palestinains of the West Bank can't vote because, though Israel captured their land in 1967, their areas were not annexed (like the Golan and East Jerusalem).

Most of the populated areas of the West Bank are under the control of the Palestinian Authority.

It's almost as if, in a country with a free press, individual newspapers can print whatever they want.

The newspaper in TFA appears to have neither a website nor a Wikipedia page, and a web search for its name turns up only references to this story. I'd best most college newspapers have a higher circulation.
